Trey Johnson injured his quadriceps and will be sidelined for a month and a half.

Johnson recently signed with the Italian club Teramo Basket after having brief cups of coffee with the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers last season. He dominated the NBDL, so hopefully he can return to the court sooner rather than later and continue to develop.

Johnson was dominating the D-League last season, but struggled to find a role in the rotation during his stints with both the Raptors and Lakers last season. He should do much better overseas than he did in the NBA.

The 26-year-old is leading the D-League in scoring with 25.8 points per game, in addition to 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists. He gives Toronto some depth while Leandro Barbosa rehabilitates, but isn't likely to have fantasy relevance.

Jackson State guard Trey Johnson said Monday he will skip his senior season and enter the NBA draft.

Johnson, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, ranked 10th nationally with an average of 23.5 points in leading the Tigers to a 15-17 record. He does not plan to hire an agent, preserving his eligibility. Underclassmen have until June 18 to withdraw from the draft.

Tim Frazier will likely start at point guard once again, and is a very intriguing DFS option. In the 22 games he has started this season, Frazier is averaging 10.8 points, 7.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds. Langston Galloway and Buddy Hield should also see additional playing time.

Thus, there will be plenty of playing time up for grabs in the Pels backcourt. Tim Frazier will likely start at the point. Buddy Hield has started at shooting guard in each of the last two games, but it has been Langston Galloway that has been the more reliable fantasy player. Galloway is averaging 22.5 points and 4.5 treys over the Pels last two contests.

Tyreke Evans (knee, calf) will not play against the Clippers on Saturday.

He is expected to miss at least one more game on top of that. The Pelicans are going nowhere fast and have only a four percent chance to make the playoffs, per FiveThirtyEight.com. Evans will have a restriction on him for a long time, so stashing him is going to require a lot of patience.

Quincy Pondexter (knee surgeries) is still not close to getting back on the court.

"Quincy’s probably going to take a little bit longer than [Tyreke Evans to return]," Pelicans' GM Dell Demps said. "We’ll get a better determination on Quincy probably in about two weeks." With Evans' looking at a potential December return, it sounds like Pondexter might not get back to the court until sometime in January. He doesn't offer enough upside to warrant a hold in any setting.

Dante Cunningham (knee) has been diagnosed with a non-displaced right proximal fibula fracture and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.

The Pelicans said he wasn't expected to miss much time, but they didn't know Cunningham suffered a fracture from banging knees on Wednesday. Cunningham's playing time as a starter was trending up with around 30 minutes per game recently -- he does only have a 12.0 usage rate this year. While he was out on Wednesday, Solomon Hill started the second half and is likely to be starting going forward. They also used a lot of three-guard lineups with Jrue Holiday, Tim Frazier and Langston Galloway. Frazier should be owned in standard leagues, Galloway is a short-term pickup for 14-team leagues and Hill is worth a look for owners with something to cut in deeper leagues.
